Welcome to [Warchief]

I’m back in Orgrimmar. After we wrapped up things in Garadar, I took sort of a leisurely trip by land to Shattrath with Lakkara. From there we took one of the portals to Orgrimmar. You should have seen the look on my mother’s face the first time she came up with me from the Cleft of Shadow and saw the Valley of Strength.

Since then I’ve been showing her around Orgrimmar and a little of Durotar. At first I figured I was going to take her on this whirlwind tour around Kalimdor and show her everything, but I forget ALL of this is TOTALLY new to her, so it’s probably better to take our time and give her a chance to take it all in. Even little things, like the fact that she hadn’t ever really seen trolls before. Or Forsaken, for that matter…although she was a lot less freaked out over seeing them walking around town than I figured she would be. I guess she just feels for anybody who’s had a rough time of it. Anyway, for the time being I have her set up with her own quarters here in Grommash Hold, upstairs.

While she’s been getting settled and resting, I’ve had a chance to hop back online and get some Earth Online time. The guild had gotten off to a slow start, since I ended up having a lot of distractions keeping me from the game, but I think we’re starting to get things together. Spazzle also set me up with this thing that lets me log our in-game guild chat, so I’m going to try using it here and give you guys a peek at what we’ve been up to. He even had some add-on that let me tag players in the game with their real names (or whatever names I want to label them with) so both names show up in the game chat. Makes it easier for me to keep things straight sometimes, but I figure it’ll make these logs a hell of a lot easier for you all to make sense of.

Anyway, here goes:

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So Spaz, how are things coming along on the guild web site?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Don’t we already have a web site?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yes and no

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] We have a site that we use, but it’s not totally ours

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] How’s that?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] you know, it’s one of those prefab ones you can get at a host site.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] they’re fine and all, they give you the basics of what you need, but they don’t give you a whole lot of room to customize

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] or for that matter even really have direct control of the site

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] which is fine if you’re just wanting something to get started with, or if you just don’t have someone who knows web design

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Which obviously we do

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] this way I can custom build it, and have direct control over security, track IP addresses, etc.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, and after all the trouble I’ve been having on the blog the last month or so, I want us to have more control of the guild site

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Ahh, got it.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So how’s it coming along?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] pretty well

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I think it should be up and running pretty soon

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] sorry it’s been taking so long, but I ended up losing a bunch of time getting the blog secured again after all the hacking that was going on

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So you finally have that locked down now?

[SteveKravitz | Utvoch] has logged on.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] yeah, I think so. I set up a much tougher firewall

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] it should be a LOT harder for anyone to get through it

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] a firewall wtf?

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] we’re got walls of fire here now?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] No, not like that

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hey Dontrag.

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] no, this is utvoch

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] hey though

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] I always get them mixed up.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] it’s a firewall for Garrosh’s blog

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] If it makes you feel any better, I usually have to keep a little crib sheet on me

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I need to jet in a little while, though. I have to go meet up with my cousin Khizzara

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] it’s new comic book day down at the shop!

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Just sorting out some day trading.

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] d and i are just sparring outside washington

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] we should probably get back to leveling though

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] kk Spazzle

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] yeah, me too.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] what level are you guys?

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] has been promoted to the rank Officer.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] 34

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] grats!

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] 33 here

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] ^_^

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Thank you, dear Guild Leader.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] grats BQ.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] welcome aboard, sylvanas

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Thank you!

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] No problem, Sylvanas. I figure you know the game well, plus, you know, it’s always nice to actually have someone with a few IQ points in a leadership position

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] you know in my other guild over on palin I’m an officer too, as a matter of fact.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Indeed.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] anyway, hate to greet and run, but I have get going

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Take care, Spazzle.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] anyway boo, you guys are too high level for me.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] was going to say we should group up.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] unless you want to run a lvl 19 nurse through a couple lowbie instances… <3

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I appreciate your trust, good GL, and will of course do my best to serve the guild well.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] gotta run for a little while, guys. back later!

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] i guess we could, sure

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] cya spazzle

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Later, Spazzle.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] <3

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Going quiet for a few, everyone, need to get this quest done for my class trinket

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] has logged off.

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] bye spazzle

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] damn, missed him

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Before you get too far into your quest, Garrosh, would it be all right if I invited a friend to the guild?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] He’s fairly new to the game, but I’m sure he’ll learn quickly. Plus he doesn’t really get out a lot, so it might be nice for him to have some new people to interact with.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, that should be fine

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] where should we meet you garona

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Anyway, busy for a few

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] I’m over in moscow now.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] I have a couple quests to do in the kremlin if we could do that.

[Lorthemar] has joined the guild.

[Lorthemar] has been promoted to the rank Recruit.

[Lorthemar] has been promoted to the rank Member.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] ok

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Welcome, Lorthemar.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Welcome!

[Guild][Lorthemar] Thank you!

[Guild][Lorthemar] Greetings, guildmates!

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] sup

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] who’s the new guy?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] o.O

[Guild][Lorthemar] Lor’themar Theron, at your service!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh so I guess you just didn’t have enough characters to put the last name on your toon?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] I think there’s a mod you can use to get around that.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] oh hey is that supposed to be like whats her face from the quest chain?

Not sure what he plays, but if he discovered the game after his initial successes when he first took over in Silvermoon, it might explain why his performance kind of went down the tubes. You know, getting sucked into these online games and such…

I use that add-on, too. In a guild filled with altoholics, it saves my sanity.

I sometimes entertain thoughts of posting conversations from guild chat. People say the funniest odd (or oddly funny) things. (Thankfully, we don’t have any members that come even close to U&D’s… specialness. Otherwise, chat would stop being so amusing.)
